I have a feeling Sony is going to "relaunch" the
Vita pretty soon

An N-gage-type device with actual good games would be nice. That way I could ditch my cell phone.---"Crap the 24 didn't get added when I punched it into calculator. 1400/104 is 13.5 mb/s." - Demonbat666

I really doubt we will see a redesign any time soon, stores are already having a hard enough time moving the units they have, I doubt they want even more stock that they might not be able to get rid of.

The problem with the N-Gage was that it was way too early. No one cared about games on cellphones back then. But that's no longer the case. A similar device today, if marketed right and given enough support, could have a real shot at success. (Obviously, the Xperia Play wasn't that.)

Price doesn't really matter with phones. As the iPhone has proved, people can write any ridiculous phone price off as a "necessity", while gaming handhelds are nothing but luxuries. As long as this hypothetical Vita smartphone isn't like $800, it would sell.

If this system gets a facelift, the only way I buy is if it incorporates L2/R2 buttons next to R1/L1.---The only thing I can control is my EFFORT, ATTITUDE, and, FOCUS.

If this system gets a facelift, the only way I buy is if it incorporates L2/R2 buttons next to R1/L1.

That would significantly enlarge the system and decrease portability. I say they just use the back touchpad for extra shoulder buttons.
